This lecture will cover: Human vision system Light

6、in DIP results. n The human visual system can perceive approximately 1010 different light intensity levels n Subjective brightness is a logarithm function of the light intensity incident on the eye. n However, at any one time we can only discriminate between a much smaller number brightness adaptati

That is the reason that gamma rays are so dangerous to living organisms. 19 of 58Light and the Electromagnetic SpectrumnThe colours that we perceive are determined by the nature of the light reflec
